' ROTATABLE SUAP-HOLDER.

Application filed July 8, 1913. Serial No. 777,8?23.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PYRMA E. FIsoHER, a citizen of the United States,residing in the cit of New York and State of New York, have inventedanew and useful Improvement in Rotatable Soap-Holders,-of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for producing a continuous flow ofsoapy water and is especially adapted for use in washing,

Tn constructing the'devicc, I employ a spherical casing comprising thelower portion 1 and an upper and smaller top portion 2 which ispreferably threaded to the lower and larger portion, but which may be socured to the portion 1 in any manner which forms a tight joint andpermits readyseparation of the two sections. The upper or top section 2carries a coupling 3 adapted to be threaded upon an ordinary Waterspigot and the section' 1 carries a discharge nozzle l upon which isadapted to be itted a piece of flexible hose 5 through which the wateris conveyed to the place of use. A transverse shaft 6 is carried by thesection 1, and is oii-set with respect to the center of said sectionthereby placing said shaft out of vertical alinement with the waterinlet through the coupling 3 and the discharge through the nozzle 4;;said shaft is provided with fixed collars 7. Loosely hung upon the shaftbetween said collars is areticulated soap-container 8 provided with asuitable cap or end piece 9. This T have shown'as hinged but it may besecured to the receptacle in any desired manner. This receptacle isadapted tocontain soap in either large or small pieces, or if desiredthe receptacle can be made of a sufficiently fine mesh to adapt nowfound upon the. market.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. is, rare.

In operation the water discharged through the coupling 3 strikes thereceptacle 8, and

as said receptacle is hung \upon the shaft od-set with respect to thepoint of admission of the stream of water and as 'said stream, underpressure of the street mains, or'under pressure derived from an overheadtank or other form of water system, strikes the soap container it willcause the same to revolve. aboutthe shaft Within the casing. This willcause rapid saponification and .the Water will lssue from the casin 1 1na soapy condition, and it will be obvlous that the device may beattached to either a hot or cold water source of supply. In Washingdishes this provides an immediate supply of clean soapy water which iscontinuously renewed during the washing operatiomandi avoids placing thesoa in the dish water or handling the .same with the hands.

This device is especially adapted for use in a dish washer which formsthe subject matter of a separate application;

' What I claim is 1-- i l. A casing having a water inlet and itdischarge outlet upon opposite sides, a shaft off-set with respect tosaid inlet and discharge openings, and a-soapcontainer rotatably mountedupon said shaft. 1

2. A device of the kind described comrising a casing adapted to receivewater rom a spigot and having a discharge openmg in vertical alinementwith said spigot, a

shaft ofi-set with respect" to the point of ad mission of the Water, anda soap retainer loosely mounted upon saidshaft and extending into thepath of discharge of water from the spigot into the casing.

3. A device of the kind described comprising a sectional casing having adetachable top'portion, means carried by the top portion for securingtheorisin to a spigot,

a discharge nozzle carriedv by the other pertion, a shaft arrangedhorizontally and to one side of the center of the casing andareticulated soap container loosely hungupon the shaft, as and for thepurpose set forth.
